~ Fretless Guitar ~ Press the flag and click on the strings to strum them. If you record yourself playing a song on this guitar, please remix this project and add the audio--I'd love to hear what you create! :) Many guitars have frets, which are placed so that the vibrating length of the string up to the fret emits a pitch on the 12-tone scale (C, C#, D, D#, E, F, F#, G, G#, A, A#, B, C). Fretless guitars, however, have no frets, enabling pitches called microtones--notes outside of the 12-tone scale, or "in-between" notes--to be played. Scratch has the capability to produce notes that fall between the notes on the 12-tone scale--for example, MIDI number 31.4. This makes it possible to compose microtonal/xenharmonic music using noteblocks and make projects like this! See inside for notes about the programming and the math behind the music!

8/12/2020 Version 1 Features: - Thumbnail - 6 pen-drawn strings - Guitar neck background - Pitch depends on mouse position and uses string length to determine wavelength - Only one pitch plays at a time 10/3/2020 Version 1.1 Features: - Recording and playback added (WIP, not quite functional yet) Plans for further development: - 3d or position-adjustable display - String vibration animation - Tuning capabilities - Play more than one note at a time - Fix strum timing - More accurate physics model - Record/Save/Load songs Please suggest ideas in the comments below!
